Much of the following is even more OT. :-) I'm still alive... I think!... but these days I'm ultra-busy with non-maskable interrupts. My wife now needs 24/7 care due to some falls added to other problems. So when it comes to time, usenet has drawn one of the short straws in recent weeks. I also now have to be nagged by editors when they want an item *now* "You'r holding up the magazine!" [snip] I've also been doing an urgent task - finding a new supplier for decent FF teas, etc. Our old one ceased trading. Sad as their teas were great, and they are nice people. Now found two candidates and doing trial orders. Back on topic... I've got Python 3.7 installed. But as my distro is 'just out of span' Synaptic can't find related packages beyond the ones mentioned earlier. However I suddenly realised that I'd probably messed up in another way as well. Apologies to all if so. I keep having to do things in a rush, which amplifies my usual state of muddle. I'd first tried to use -U to update yt-dip on a machine where it had been OK, but now fails due - I suspect - to YT moving their deckchairs. The new version there also failed. *That* machine, though runs an even older distro, so I decided to try my newer one. But probably fouled up by simply copying across the updated yt-dlp and latterly installing the Python 3.7. Instead, when I can find time I'll now do the standard install approach for yt-dlp from the net. That may then sort out things I didn't do, or did wrong. But there is no hurry. As usual, I'm doing this for some test reasons similar to those reported on https://www.audiomisc.co.uk/YouTube/SpotTheDifference.html Say more about that if I ever get somewhere... :-) However, progress is sloower than it used to be as I can't get as much time for things like this as I was. BTW The VW on Brass CD is superb. :-) Jim -- Electronics https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html biog http://jcgl.orpheusweb.co.uk/history/ups_and_downs.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
